On the structure of the top homology group of the Johnson kernel

The Johnson kernel is the subgroup $\mathcal{K}_g$ of the mapping class group ${\rm Mod}(\Sigma_{g})$ of a genus $g$ oriented closed surface $\Sigma_{g}$ generated by all Dehn twists about separating curves. In this paper we study the structure of the top homology group ${\rm H}_{2g-3}(\mathcal{K}_g, \mathbb{Z})$. For any collection of $2g-3$ disjoint separating curves on $\Sigma_{g}$ one can construct the corresponding abelian cycle in the group ${\rm H}_{2g-3}(\mathcal{K}_g, \mathbb{Z})$; such abelian cycles will be called simplest. In this paper we describe the structure of $\mathbb{Z}[{\rm Mod}(\Sigma_{g})/ \mathcal{K}_g]$-module on the subgroup of ${\rm H}_{2g-3}(\mathcal{K}_g, \mathbb{Z})$ generated by all simplest abelian cycles and find all relations between them.
